The Tico Times recently posted a survey asking readers for their favorite vacation destination in Costa Rica. Keep in mind this is “vacation spot” which is not necessarily the same as “best place to live” in Costa Rica. Here are the results when I last checked the website:
25% Central Pacific – which includes Jaco and Manuel Antonio
24% Guanacaste Beaches (northwest Pacific coast)
14% Osa Peninsula (southwest Pacific coast – more remote)
12% Arenal
11% Caribbean coast (including Puerto Viejo and Tortuguero)
10% Nicoya Peninsula
3% Monteverde (Cloud Forest)
What’s your favorite vacation spot in Costa Rica? Where’s your favorite spot to buy a second home or to live permanently?
